If you do not believe that the moon landings took place, if you have doubts, or simply have questions, please post them in this thread. I shall try to answer all of them, but please allow me twenty-four hours to answer.

It is not bad to be skeptical. A healthy skepticism is a good thing. When I first saw a video of a SpaceX rocket landing on a ship at sea, I thought it was fake. It looked as if someone had taken a launch video and run it backwards. But then, when I read more about it, I realized that it was not faked.

First, let me provide some background. I grew up with the Apollo program. I watched the moonwalks live on TV, or, in some cases, on tape delay the following day, as many of them were past my bedtime. I saw the Skylab space station pass overhead from my back yard. I have a friend who worked for NASA in the 70's who worked on developing the Space Shuttle.

Years ago I attended in person a lecture and slide show given by Phil Plait, the Bad Astronomer, debunking all the reasons given by people who deny that the moon landings happened.

This year, on Cinco de Mayo, I watched in person the launch of the Mars Insight Lander.

A large crowd was gathered at Lompoc Airport to watch the launch. Although thick fog prevented us from seeing anything, we could hear the roar of the rocket engine, feel the shock wave from the launch, and feel the earth move. The sound was much louder than it sounds on this video.

Although there was ground fog, I was able to see the launch after the rocket rose above the fog, as well as hear the roar of the rocket engine and feel the earth shake. From the motel balcony, it appeared as a pencil of light in the sky. In the video, taken with a Nikon CoolPix camera, it appears as a blob, but it appeared as a pencil of light when viewed in person. The sound was also much louder than the video indicates.

It's pretty easy to see that the moon landings actually took place. Just take a look at this video:

The way that the astronauts are walking cannot be duplicated on earth. The technology exists today to produce a video such as this in the studio, but the technology did not exist in the sixties or seventies. However, I watched these same videos in the sixties and seventies, so I can testify that they are genuine.

Of course, NASA did have actors on standby to simulate the moonwalks should there be any trouble with the video transmission. For example, on the Apollo 14 mission, when the television camera malfunctioned, the image on the television showed actors performing the moon walk, but it was labeled SIMULATION, and it didn't look anything like the real moonwalks.

Before asking any questions, please take a look at this page by the Bad Astonomer:

If you still have questions, then please post them here, and I shall answer them. I can only answer questions as to why the moon landings took place. If you have doubts that subsequent space missions took place, I cannot answer them directly, as I have not studied every single mission. However, as it is an established fact that the moon missions took place, I see no reason that an agency that could accomplish that would switch to faking space missions. Even if the (((enemy))) were to take over NASA, they would have nothing to gain by doing so. However, the technology does exist today to fake the missions, but that technology did not exist during the Apollo program.

Also, if you have doubts that the mission control room is located at the exact center of the universe, I cannot answer your doubts. However, the plaque on the floor says it is, so I have no reason to doubt that.

Before making disparaging remarks about the Apollo program, please keep in mind that the moon landings were the crowning achievement of Adolf Hitler's team of rocket scientists. A case can even be made that they were the crowning achievement of the Third Reich. So every time you disparage the moon landings, you are giving these guys a kick in the gut.

I am not a doubter/disbeliever in manned space missions. Quite the reverse. I am a believer in a much wider field of space missions than those admitted to. I found it humorous and ironical, therefore, when Trump announced he was inaugurating a new arm of the US military called Space Command—as it has probably existed for decades already.

As one of many places my father worked at, he worked for NASA on shuttle hardware, as well as military missiles.

But, I was genuinely curious about a matter that cropped up today, whilst seeing the familiar footage of Armstrong stepping off the Eagle LEM.

Did he set up a camera on a tripod, then run back to the ladder, sweep out the first footprints, then stage it again, pretending the footage showed the first steps? I tried to imagine some sort of camera system that could be cast out, and set itself up in a proper alignment. But that seemed far-fetched considering 1969 technology.

Never believed it for a long time, but have finally accepted the fact that the moon is only 250,000 miles from earth and it is entirely possible. What I don't understand is the 250 degree temperature difference. 150 degrees below and over 100 degrees above in the daytime. How can you stand it?

There certainly are secret military missions; nobody denies that. But as for that photo, that's Aldrin, not Armstrong. It's frequently miscaptioned as Armstrong, but it's Aldrin. In fact, Aldrin was so upset that he was only the second man and not the first to walk on the moon that he refused to take any pictures of Armstrong. All of the still-camera photos taken on the surface during the Apollo 11 mission were of Aldrin--not a one of Armstrong. I guess he got his revenge.

Who took this picture, where were they located, and what was the source of the "background fill light" illuminating the space suit? Was it G-D who took that picture?

All of the missions took place in the early morning. The space suits had a water-cooling system, similar to the radiator in a car, to keep the astronauts from getting too hot.

The picture was taken by Neil Armstrong, and it shows Buzz Aldrin climbing down the ladder. The source of the background fill light was the moon itself. The surface of the moon is highly reflective and could reflect sufficient light to illuminate objects not directly illuminated by the sun. If you look carefully at the photo, you can see that the surface of the moon is much brighter than Aldrin's suit. Even the LM itself looks rather dark, even though it is covered in reflective foil, because it is not in direct sunlight.
